A Chilly Arizona Memorial Day Morning

Other posts by DesertMama

Memorial Day in Arizona is usually hot, very hot. At our home burgers and corn on the cob are on the grill. The pool is being put to good use and the first sunburn of the year has already come and gone. But not this year. In fact, yesterday my husband was wearing a sweatshirt as he cleaned the 64 degree pool.

We have had the windows open all month and I keep thinking it’s April. My kids are going crazy to play in the sprinklers, and I did let them once, but they ended up freezing with goosebumps.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining. After all, the weather forecast is showing the heat is making its way here. But until then, I’ll happily enjoy the 55 degree mornings and wear my sweatpants as I lay by the pool this Memorial Day.

But, the truth is, weather isn’t what Memorial Day is about. The TravelingMamas want to thank all of the men and women who have died for our country. You are not forgotten.
